Damn, if that chart shows anything it's that launch sales don't mean anything, especially for Nintendo consoles.  The GC started stronger than the Wii, yet sold ~35M less than it.  The GBA was the strongest launch, pretty close to the Switch, yet sold ~10M less than the Wii and ~25M less than the DS.  The 3DS had the weakest launch, yet has done ~15M more than the Wii U, so far.

Also shows that people are more informed and like to go buy things Day 1. Manufacturers have largely adapated for this compared to previous generations.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
